OPM Dawn French to be in one-off episodes with UKTV Gold

In articles from Royal Television Society, former St Dunstan's pupil and comedy actor, Dawn French, will be creating two one-off episodes with UKTV Gold - a retrospective episode of The Vicar of Dibley, where she will be partner-talking with screen-writer of the program, Richard Curtis, to get nostalgic and look back on the rehearsals and filming of the legendary series. 

Co-writer Paul Mayhew-Archer, as well as producer Jon Plowman and actor James Fleet, who plays Hugo Horton, will all be sitting down to talk about their favourite moments of the show, reveal unseen rehearsal footage and also remember the stars who are no longer with us, such as Emma Chambers, who famously played verger and French's right-hand woman, Alice Tinker. 

French will also be pairing up with comedy co-star, Jennifer Saunders, in a one-off special from the set of their ever-famous French and Saunders sketch show - where they will be discussing the plethora of female figures that have contributed to the comedy scene both in history and the world today. 

French and Saunders: Funny Women is produced by Double Yellow Television and will air on Gold later this year along with The Vicar of Dibley: Inside Out.
